Secret of the Mortician

The Secret of the Mortician

Dead, but I got eyes
Prepares my body at the morgue
Opens the chest
Drains the blood from its nudity
Admires my body before it decays

After The process of embalming
His hands run all over
I'm still dead
He's satisfied

The next day 
Writes an outstanding obituary 
I sit on display

~SKAT~

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/5/2016 1:26:00 PM A very interesting poem w/a tinge of the macabre, Skat A. You have such an impressive range of poems in your catalog. This poem was very surreal, and the mortician character seemed like a ghoulish person. Maybe that's just me. Anywho, keep up your outstanding work. Will take me some time to read through your work, but I'll keep plugging away. From Rico w/love! Login to Reply

Vladislav Raven Date: 1/5/2016 8:24:00 PM Hi Skat, as always, you manage to make your subject matter your own. You seem to make each subject come alive through your words. That is a great gift to possess Skat. I always wondered what went through a morticians head while doing his work....Vladislav. Login to Reply

Iris E. Sankey- Lewis Date: 12/31/2015 11:37:00 AM You have a way of tackling any sub matter and turning it into a gem. Expository gem. Thanks for stopping by. Happy New Year with peace and blessings. Login to Reply

Robyn Campbell Date: 12/28/2015 11:23:00 AM Applause. Dark yet made me laugh also. I think your words are spot on. Morticians have to be strange people. I wish I could rate your poems a 10. That's what they are. Login to Reply

Red Barchettadrive Date: 11/7/2015 11:17:00 PM This is DEAD on SKAT A! Boy, this could spawn many a morbid joke! I was speaking to a mortician the other night too! I asked him if he knew so and so and he said he wasn't to well in remembering names. I said,"Yeah, the people you work with don't talk too much do they?" He laughed! Login to Reply
